# Accordingly, many poskim hold that mild cheddar, feta, mozzarella, and muenster cheeses are considered soft cheeses, however, medium, sharp and aged cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses are considered hard cheeses. <ref>[http://www.oukosher.org/pdf/daf19-9c.pdf Rabbi Avrohom Gordimer in OU's Daf HaKashrus] Tamuz 5771 p. 55. </ref> However, some hold that any cheese that appears hard requires waiting six hours.<ref>Shevet Halevi 2:35 writes that one should be strict about any hard cheese even if it is aged for less than 6 months.

# Some poskim are lenient that one doesn't need to wait after eating hard cheese which was melted.<ref>Yad Yehuda Pirush Hakatzar 89:30 writes that if the cheese was softened by being melted one doesn't have to be strict to consider the food a tavshil of cheese. See [https://oukosher.org/blog/consumer-kosher/aged-cheese-list/ OU Article fnt. 6] which says that the OU holds that the Yad Yehuda can only be applied to a case of a tavshil of cheese in that the cheese isn't noticeable. However, some apply the Yad Yehuda to any melted cheese. Badei Hashulchan 89:2 s.v. vechen seems to apply the Yad Yehuda to all cases but questions it since the softening only helps that it doesn't get stuck in one's teeth but not for the sharp taste.</ref> | # Some poskim are lenient that one doesn't need to wait after eating hard cheese which was melted.<ref>Yad Yehuda Pirush Hakatzar 89:30 writes that if the cheese was softened by being melted one doesn't have to be strict to consider the food a tavshil of cheese.
